I've been showing my friend a lot of Cuban music, and giving her recordings of albums in my collection. A few of the albums I have are my grandmother's, who brought them with her from Cuba.

It's probably dry as a bone in the Levant on this first day of spring, but it's raining like like crazy in the SGV!

As is typical of New York, the first day of spring pretty much felt like just another winter day
